The word "trendy" sounds exciting sometimes, like when you buy a house that's so outdated that some of it has come back into style. It's also great when you have a limited decor budget and happen to find something at Goodwill that's actually "on-trend." Or when your grandma gives you her old dishes and you see similar ones in a magazine. In these cases, trendy is awesome. It gets you back in ... View Post
Decorating and Staying Married
There is a baffling exchange that goes on in a marriage when it's time to do some decorating. Not only has this happened to me, but it has happened to most (actually, all) married people I have known.

We tend to have the hours between 8pm and 3am free, which is a good thing, because we've been ... View Post
